Former first-round pick, Baker faces four counts of robbery charges from an alleged May 13 house party in Miramar, Florida.

Since the alleged incident Baker hasn’t participated in any Giants events. When asked about the incident and Baker’s status Giants president and chief executive officer said

“A decision will be made sooner rather than later on that.”

The incident involved both DeAndre Baker and Seahawks DB Quinton Dunbar. Dunbar was cleared, while Baker could face a minimum sentence of 10 years with a maximum of life.
